@rmasoni@FediFollows It's simply a resources problem. I don't own a Apple Silicon mac, and the number of people running Owncast in production on macs are very low. I'm not mocking them, I'm simply saying I can't support them and focusing on the most useful for the most people is all I can do.
@owncast I understand it's currently not possible for you to personally test on Apple Silicon Macs, but I feel the immediate response shouldn't have been to shut down the support.
A small effort could've been made to ask for help from the community. Clearly there are people that want to use Owncast on their Macs. Heck, the quickstart guide video was made on a Mac and it's awesome.
That whole thread on GitHub was unpleasant and instantly drove me away.
@rmasoni@FediFollows Asking for help rarely yields results. Trust me, if it were that easy then none of this would be a problem. I'm sorry you're upset that your particular use case can't be supported, but I'm trying my best.
@owncast I truly appreciate that you're trying your best and I do not doubt it. I know how hard it can be to maintain an open source project of this magnitude. What you have achieved is nothing short of amazing.
I'm upset about how the situation was handled more than anything. That interaction could've been more positive and considering of the people that want to use the product.
@rmasoni This is not a product (that you can buy) it is a software you are allowed to use because someone else made an effort to develop it. You are not entitled to support unless you pay for it. Interactions like this would discourage me as a maintainer and I think you could do much better.
I'm surprised to not see #lemmy or #kbin mentioned. I've got a personal Lemmy instance going and it's been such a nice change of pace from the old link aggregator.
